Black and Blue Jackets Beat Flyers in Shootout; Bobrovsky, Jones, and Dubois the Difference

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Philadelphia Flyers came together for their first meeting of the season Saturday night in Columbus. While the Blue Jackets looked to enter the three-day holiday break on a three-game point streak, Philadelphia, off the heels of a 4-2 Friday night loss in Buffalo to the Sabres, came in 8th place in the Metropolitan Division, looking to close the gap.

Here's how it went down.

1st Period

The game had a brisk pace from the start and both teams had point-blank looks early. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped one of the Flyers’ best chances when a 2-on-1 rush by Claude Giroux and Travis Konecny came with 11:19 left in the period.
